Telecoms: the Global BTS Antenna Market

TDD antenna shipments move from an exciting curve in 2014 with shipments for China Mobile, Reliance Jio, Sprint and more to complex situation in 2015 across the world. 

Multi-port antennas drive henceforth the excitements across the world. 

According to Research and Markets, FDD multi-port BTS antenna shipments grew 14% year over year while legacy 2-port antenna shipments declined by 14%. The firm estimates that the Tier 1 BTS antenna suppliers controlled 54% of total BTS antenna shipments in 2014, down from 59% in 2013.

The firm also expects the market to shift towards the 4.3/10 DIN type due to higher PIM performance as well as use of these connectors on higher port count antenna products (10/12/14-ports) due to their smaller footprint.

Chinese vendors such as Datang Telecom, Huawei Technologies, and ZTE are vey dynamics.
